Games Workshop
 This page is in need of cleanup. Srsly. It's a fucking mess. |

 | This article or section involves Matthew Ward, Spiritual Liege, who is universally-reviled on /tg/. Because this article or section covers Ward's copious amounts of derp and rage, fans of the 40K series are advised that if they proceed onward, they will see fluff and crunch violation of a level rarely seen. |
 Expect huge amounts of derp and rage, punctuated by /tg/ extracting humor from it. |
"In the state of nature profit is the measure of right."
-Thomas Hobbes
"A fool and his money are soon parted."
-Dr John Bridges
"A wise man should have money in his head, but not in his heart."
-Jonathan Swift
"For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows."
-1 Timothy 6:10
"Games Workshop is in the business of selling toy soldiers to children."
- Tom Kirby, (former) Chairman of Games Workshop PLC *He is still there, though.
"...we recruit for attitude, not for skills."
- Tom Kirby, 2013 Chairman's permeable (Note how he claims it's to provide quality service and good attitudes, but avoids mention of customer complaints and what exactly those "desired" attitudes are).
"But did the comic book medium that had endured world war, cold war, social revolution, finally meet its own demise not from a threat from without, but from within, unwittingly destroying itself when it decided that making money wasn't everything, it was the only thing? We'll have to see. It doesn't look good, but then... that's usually the moment when someone comes to the rescue." - SF Debris, "Rise and Fall of the Comic Empire, Afterword" (I trust you can see the paralells)
"Games Workshop is in the business of fixing itself from the piece of shit Tom Kirby left me with. I mean, have you seen our stocks lately?"
- Kevin Rountree, if he has any common sense, even if he doesn't say it out loud.
Games Workshop is a company which produces miniatures, and although they claim otherwise, games. Their two most notable games are Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40,000. The first thing that you need to know is that in /tg/'s general opinion, Games Workshop used to be good. It could also still be again. See Mordheim, Beakie, Rogue Trader and Talisman. They are now run by idiots. The second thing is that Games Workshop is the reason /tg/ exists in the first place, originally being a partition to isolate Warhammer from general population on /b/. Warhammer is also a massive part of tabletop gaming culture history. As such, the importance of Warhammer in /tg/ cannot be overstated.

Also, sign this petition. Get your friends and family to sign it. Sign it, lest GW continue their abhorrent business activities unmolested. Petition is closed, after gaining nearly 17,300 signatures. While GW never explicitly said that things were changing in response to the petition, see this to see the 'coincidental' changes that occurred since the petition hit 10k sigs.
Laughably, Games Workshop are extremely protective about their precious intellectual properties. This is funny because you can count the number of original ideas in their core games on one hand, with the original creators outright admitting they ripped off existing works wholesale. The vast majority of backstory in Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 is a rehash of established fantasy/sci-fi literature, padded out with stuff the writers half-remembered from A level history lectures. This is particularly true in the case of Warhammer Fantasy, which actually makes sense when you realize most of GW's founders actually had history degrees. 40k by contrast is mostly Fantasy IIIIIIIN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!
